It's by far the best Jamaican food ever! I would eat it everyday if I could. The staff is very professional and super friendly. Try the oxtail which I love with all my heart.
I absolutely love Althea food- best Jamaican food in town. If you haven’t already try her jerk pork .. delicious 🤤..
Today (09/16/2026), the food truck was stationed at NIH bethesda campus. I noticed Althea’s Almost Famous Jamaican food truck and I wanted a beef patty bad! I ordered a beef patty, jerk chicken patty and ginger beer. Hands down!! Crispy, flavor-able, hot, fresh, delicious. I notice the truck is coming back later this week…this time, I am going to try a Jerk Chicken platter.
